Some debts have a Statute of Limitations ranging from 2-6 years, some go as high as 10 years and others such as Governmental debt has no Statute

Do a search on "statute of limitations consumer debts", or old debts etc to determine what if any regulations are in place in your Country/State/Province.

Legally you may not have to pay the debt if it falls within certain guidelines however morally the debt is on the books forever and I guess it depends on how you look at this.

The debt collector has purchased your debt from the actual business where the debt was incurred originally...the company is now happy and the collector has to recoup it's money so they will do what it takes to make that happen. They may call every week, send letters, etc., trying to get you to own up to the debt first then to pay up.

Check the statutes, consider if you really want these people chasing you down every week or so and go from there.

Good luck


The Twist
Yea, check the stature of limitations for debt in your state:

Depends on the kind of debt. The statute of limitations on a written note varies by state but usually 10 years. A payment or acknowledgment of the debt may start the limitation period starting to run anew.

There is something known as the statute of limitation. But, it varies widely from one state to another. Maybe take a look at this website for more information on the topic....

In most states, it is a 7 yr. limitation. Check with you public defender. Or try different lawyers, some may give you free information. Don't make any payments if you don't want to pay it. If you make a dime payment, you admit you owe it and are paying on it and they will expect the full amount. Don't do anything untill you talk to a lawyer. Good LUck.


The Fat Controller
i belive 6 years is the limit speak to citizens advice they will help

In California, the statute of limitations for a debt is four years.

You're not going to like the rest, but read on..........

If you made the debt, don't hide behind time. Grow up and pay it. The company that extended you credit did so on good faith that you would pay them back and you didn't. Why not just break into your neighbors house and take what you want? It's the same... stealing. Settle for paying just the principle if there are late fees and and that other crap piled on.

A debt stays on your credit report for 7 years, unless you go onto all 3 reporting sites and dispute the claim and have it removed.


untanuta
think a debt can still be claimed for up to 7 years!

Actually there is no time limit on how long you "owe" a debt. Until it is paid, it exists. On the other hand, there are time limits on the steps that may be taken to collect it.

For example, a lawsuit generally must be filed within four years of the time you default. If the person waits longer, they will be "barred" from filing a suit. Also, negative information on your credit report becomes obsolete after seven years and generally may not be reported.

There is no time limit, however, regarding when a creditor must stop asking you to pay. Also, as long as you do not pay, that creditor does not have do business with you.

It depends on what kind of debt. Car repos the statute of limitations is 4 years, unless they've sued you. Credit cards and other debt have their own statute of limitations depending upon what state you're in. Look and find out what your states SOL is and act accordingly. If it's out of SOL I'd write a letter telling them so. Then if they decide to take you to court you can use that and actually get money from them.

I have a better idea . . . . pay your debt you d*uchebag. I can't stand stupid morons like you.

Instead of being some meek ****** that defaults on their debts, pay it and be done with it. In all likelihood, you'll get away without having to pay. I just hope you realize how weak of a person you are.
